- Hello everyone,
Coming up this weekend is the Chasewater Railway's Coal Train Day, and a few years ago Lawrie headed up and spent the day hanging out with some friends at the railway.
A big thank you to the Railway for putting on a super day - if you want to find out about the next event check out their website here: www.chasewater...
A video shot, edited, and featuring Lawrie

4:05 that shot of Hastings putting on the power is glorious
It's great isn't it
At 23:20 Hastings is digging in, and Holly Bank is like "Go ahead, you got this."
5:56 Guy was really head-bopping to that noise in the cab!
I do the same 😂
Yeah... So do I!!! 😂😂😂
I’ve been to Chasewater a few times. It’s the closest railway to my mum’s. I’ve never been trackside though, only ever on the trains. Good to see what it’s like off the trains.
It's well worth spending some time watching!
Had to watch, to make sure it was Chasewater, Staffs, and not the one in Cornwall. Nice to see this line carrying on.
It's a lovely line!
TRAINS!!!
Indeed
Lovely video Lawrie- I always enjoy them!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great to see locomotives actually working, and not just the fireman putting on a steam and smoke show for the tourists and photographers.
It's a really good little railway. Well worth a visit
Another amazing video. Watching or filming trains can get very lonely so I think it was cool that you and that little group of enthusiasts filmed together😁👍👍
It was good fun!
I love that moment of exuberant wheel slippage , 25mph of pure joy ❤😂😂😂😂
Was brilliant wasn't it!
@@lmmohhh yes 😊
イギリスの機関車はほんと美しい！！
They really are!
Really enjoy watching your videos. Really good commentary on the videos and getting to see and hear the history of locos
Thank you very much!
As is usual on the Chase they do put on a good show. The very best 'good noise' was when Rapido were doing the sound recordings of Holly Bank for their 00 model a few years ago, they had her thrashing away for hours and you could hear her barking away clearly from the other side of the reservoir. I really do wish they'd do something with the ex-LNWR diagram 333 brake third that has been rotting away in a siding at Brownhills for decades. Historically that is one of the most locally significant pieces of rolling stock they have on the entire line, being the actual coach used for the later paddy trains at the Cannock collieries. It would look so much nicer seeing it restored and back in service than those DMU trailers.
It would be lovely to see it restored
Very enjoyable video 👍🙏💯🤟😁🚂🎥
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing amout of saddletank engines kicking about.
Very common industrial design
Amazing video as always. Hope your doing good
Thank you very much
sorry, I am somewhat ignorant when it comes to trains in the UK. Do they not have air brakes there? Automatic couplers and air brakes been mandatory in the USA since 1900.
We still had unfitted trains into the 1990s!
The modern railway runs airbrakes, under BR we were still using vacuum for passenger stock.
Hello from Detroit Michigan USA thank you for taking us on your railroad adventures
You're most welcome
I love the action shot of me at 27:31 with my green flag!!!
Poetry in motion!
@@lmm What can i say??? its a gift my friend!!
This really confused me as I'm meant to be taking my layout over to the event this sunday. I thought I'd missed it 😮
Cheers for completely baffling me😅 😅😅😅
You're welcome 😂. Have fun!
Amazing!!!!!!
Thank you!
Great video! One of those HAA hoppers appears to be still loaded with coal?
I'm honestly not sure
i believe it’s filled with some sort of gravel or ash
could be wrong, but i know it’s the only filled MGR that we have
It is Indeed loaded with coal
Great video
Thank you
Greetings from Ecuador.
Hello!
Absolutely me when I see wildlife
Another expert I see 😂
Lawrie, subscriber from USA, another great video as always. I love watching this machinery "doing what it was made for". I love the details you know about and point out. The whole video I was wondering why the wagons weren't coupled with the buffers touching, its like you read my mind.
Oh I'm glad you enjoyed it!
good video as always!
shame that this years coal train day won’t be as eventful!
That one was a very good show
1:50
Ive driven one of them
7:53
Looks like something is growing out of that wagon 😂
Yes it is
This looks a great event. I will possibly go next year to see this as I have visited the line last year.
Also good to see that you didn't get distracted by big yellow construction equipment this time round (or did you?)
Not that trip 😂
Worth a visit though!
@@lmmdefinitely quite a quaint industrial railway.
Funny I thought the opening was very deer 🦌 errrr.... dear. 😉
😂 😂
Hey lawrie I assume that you’ve seen the 4014 pushing a freight train a few months ago 😁
Yes! Great wasn't it!
It isn't the soultrain, it's the coaltrain. And that is better for it goes choo, choo and chuff. And for a traniac, that is better than any other music.
Isn't it just!
Loose coupled and no brakes, class 9 on BR. Worked a fair few of them as a guard and driver.
Oh that must have been great!
Those were the Days, absolutely fantastic. So many funny memories. What health and safety lol. I remember one night myself and a guard had to relieve a crew working a night shift engineering job and the guard was asleep in the brakevan. My guard dropped a detonator down the chimney into the pot bellied stove.... BANG!!! and a smoke filled van like something out of a cartoon. But then to top it off I climbed up the 37 and opened the door to take my turn and the driver inside ended up in a heap on the floor after his hammock which was tied to the two doors collapsed....LMAO...you would have to see it to believe it. Just one of many memories.@@lmm
@@dustymiller7758 that's both hilarious and concerning 😂
Hello how are u today?
Good thanks
Now come to Kent and see Hastings up Tenterden bank
I will
I really wonder why railways in England kept using freight wagons that had no braking and such loose couplings instead of installing air brakes or other brake types and automatic couplers
Because cost.
It would have cost an impossible amount to upgrade everything.
From the 1950s a proportion of 16t minerals were built vac braked and others converted to vac brake, and those HAA hoppers were built with air brakes from the outset in the 1960s. These old colliery lines were effectively private railways though, so had carte blanche to run what they wanted and pretty much carried on the same way they had been for 100 years. On the colliery lines they were effectively unbraked, but once released onto the main line they were very much braked in later years. Unfitted trains became increasingly rare on the main line after the 1960s, and those which did still run were severely speed restricted. Loose coupling helped lightweight smaller locomotives get high tonnages started. At some of the power stations the collieries here at Chasewayer used to feed, Nechells and Hams Hall for example, those little 0-4-0 tanks were expected to shift 800 ton trains and the 0-6-0 tanks were expected to shift 1000 tons.
Groovy but you'v left me wondering how with one passing loop and one locomotive you get the locomotive and the brake van swapped around. Someone please tell me its easy peasy.
Train comes in.
Stops in loop.
Engine runs round.
Removes brake van.
Places brake van in loop.
Collects train.
Puts train onto brakevan in loop.
@@lmm Cheers, it's early for me and I had a mental image of the loco being in the way. Doh!
Nice vis shame hollybank isnt running thia weekend
Oh isn't it?
hollybank has got some issues hence why it hasn’t been running for the past few weeks - will hopefully be back by christmas
@@lmmsadly not will you be there?
I miss the littel ruston 48. Humpty is geting more spotlitht then him.
It'll be getting back in the spotlight soon!
